Kevin E Aurora , OH July 01, 2022 Appliance: Whirlpool Gas Dryer WGD8200YW1 The machine was making a loud “chirping” sound and taking a long time to dry cloths I purchased a repair kit recommended for the noise issue which included a belt that did not fit my dryer. So I also purchased a drum belt specifically for my Dryer which was still cheaper than purchasing the parts individually. The repair was easy (the hardest part was compressing the metal clips that held the top on (the video wasn’t very descriptive). Replaced the drum rollers, drum belt and drum belt idler pulley (which, I believe was the part making the noise). Putting the machine back together, I noticed the front drum seal was bad and ordered an new one which came in two days. Again, the repair was quite simple. Put the machine back together and it works fine. No noise and the drying time was reduced by the seal replacement. If I had ordered the drum seal at the same time as the rest of the parts, the repair would have taken about 2-1/2 to 3 hours.

Karl A Littleton , CO January 31, 2022 The idler pulley bearings were worn out making a lot of noise I ordered the idler bearing with arm, also decided to do all belts and drum support wheels, forgot that there are 4 and order only 2. I did the work myself. I am industrial Tech by trade. So not too hard. I did watch a U -Tube video for familiarization. It is a job any home mechanic could do. Read More...
